2014 Mothers Love Asian Elephant 1/2oz Silver Proof Coin

The second coin from the Mother’s Love series features a mother Asian elephant and her calf.

Displaying a special bond, the mother and her calf move together among other related females and their young, under the direction of a matriarch. The mother dedicates all of her time and love to her calf, and will only give birth again after her first born has been weaned.

Highly protective, and ever conscious of her baby’s wellbeing, an Asian elephant mother will charge fiercely at any threat to her young calf.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 1/2oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 4,500 of these Mother’s Love – Asian Elephant 2014 1/2oz Silver Proof Coins in this packaging.

The coin’s reverse features a coloured elephant calf locking trunks with its mother surrounded by jungle palms. The inscription ASIAN ELEPHANT and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark also appear in the design. The coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2014 year-date and the monetary denomination.

Accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, the coin is housed in a display case and box-shipper portraying more stunning imagery.
